Good morning. Please set logging in your hdb/bdb config ldif. This logfile should be the default.

I'm wrong, you were right:

It's some time ago I visited my ldap config files :)

./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: none ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: trace ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: packets ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: args ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: conns ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: BER ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: filter ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: config ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: ACL ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: stats ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: stats2 ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: shell ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: parse ./cn=config.ldif:olcLogLevel: sync

I grep'ed the above log types which you can define (at least the few I know).

Okay... I don't understand exactly what the log file is. My database lives in /var/lib/ldap. There is a file in this directory named "log.0000000001"; however, it does not appear to be a text file.

The file /var/log/messages is correct, seems like a little misunderstanding.

Your mentioned file is the internal logging of the backend database itself. You don't have to care about that file/these files in most cases. I think its main purpose is to correct corrupted DBs when your ldap-server crashed.

Please be sure to always reply to the mailinglist.

I would have, but your last response to me did not go to the mailing list. ;-)

Sorry for my fault, I havn't recognized that either. :)

I added these lines to cn=config.ldif:

     olcLogLevel: 256
     olcLogLevel: trace
     olcLogLevel: packets
     olcLogLevel: args
     olcLogLevel: conns
     olcLogLevel: BER
     olcLogLevel: filter
     olcLogLevel: config
     olcLogLevel: ACL
     olcLogLevel: stats
     olcLogLevel: stats2
     olcLogLevel: shell
     olcLogLevel: parse
     olcLogLevel: sync

But after restarting slapd and trying ldapadd again, I still see nothing related to OpenLDAP in /var/log/messages.

You need to configure syslog to send messages from the "local4" facility to a log file. Depending on your syslog, something like the following in /etc/syslog.conf: local4.* /var/log/slapd.log
